Applicants want to use the Blue Brick site in Dudley Road for a branch of Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

One of the nine objectors to the for the change of use is Dudley North MP Marco Longhi who says the pub which dates from 1862 is a heritage pub and should stay as a pub.

He says that there is considerable objection to its loss from the local community.

The Dudley and South Staffordshire branch of the Campaign for Real Ale has also lodged an objection saying that the Blue Brick still has potential to reopen and serve the community.
